What is the is the easiest way to get a 4-step for hurdles?

8 steps to the 1st hurdle is how it should be done.


3 steps between hurdles for sprint hurdles is the proper technique.


Reduce the distance between the hurdles. This will work particularly on leg speed between the hurdles and will simulate the effects of a tail wind(the hurdles must be brought in closer). Lower the hurdles. This enables the you to work on the rhythm between the hurdles and on leg speed





Shorten the distance between the first and second hurdle so that you can run without bounding by walking off the distance by 1 or 2 steps from the original marks, now walk off the same distance for all of the other hurdles.


Practice this till it feels like you are getting too close to the next hurdle then move all the hurdles back to the proper distance.


the technique takes time do not force it, so "just run" go over the hurdle with what ever leg comes up.|||what are you running now? 5 steps? . . . the fastest method is 3 steps between the sprint (100m) hurdles . . . 4 steps between the hurdles involves alternating lead legs and forces you to take 8 extra steps in the race as opposed to using the 3 step method . . . how good is your form? how about your speed? are you running 8 steps to the 1st hurdle? if you are having difficulty running 3 steps in between the hurdles, try moving the 2nd hurdle closer by the length of the bottom of the hurdle and try it then . . . the trick is to develop a rhythm between the hurdles for 3 steps and to run normally and not to bound (running straight legged) . . . once you establish a rhythm, push the hurdles back a 1/3 of the way and repeat until you have the same rhythm between the slightly longer distance . . . continue until the hurdle is back at its regular mark . . . do the same for the 3rd hurdle etc . . . you get the idea and good luck
